With supporters like this, who needs opponents?

My GF is looking forward to the knife fight!

My view on local is that currently, scouting in 0.0/lowsec is far too easy. Local + d-scan make it trivial to know who is coming and how many of them there are. This is a bad thing, but simply changing 0.0 local to delayed mode isn't really the best solution. I'd rather CCP takes a longer and harder look at the scouting mechanics in general, and makes scouting in EVE a real skill.

The vote match question *should have been*, "Do you think local should be used as a source of intel", and I would have happily said no to that.

And another vote for you. :)

Good luck!

I wrote a blog post looking at some of the numbers in the economy. http://twostep4csm.blogspot.com/2012/03/its-econmony-stupid.html

As long as you voted for me, you get temporary immunity*.

Not everyone can have a cool dot-less alliance name... :)

I have a question regarding your latest blog post (the one about the economy and inflation).

Do you think the inflation as it is is sustainable?

Do you favour any solution in particular?

Incursion is a big isk creator, but it isn't alone. Bounties and sleeper blue books create a serious chunk of isk. After seeing the numbers presented in your blog, I'm starting to think that nerfing Incursion income in high sec wouldn't be enough. Especially with the change coming to Rogue Drones, even more isk will be created and the Incursion nerf by itself will not have any effect.

I don't want to see wormhole income nerfed considering the challenge involved with living there, but what if Blue books were transformed into a commodity that was used for a manufacturing process of some sort? This would be a creative way of removing the isk creation, but it would leave that part of wormhole income at the mercy of the EVE market.

Any thoughts on this?

I should add. I think EVE needs more ship battles. When people lose ships and buy new one, it makes the economy go round. I think the best solution to solve some of the inflation would be to create more opportunity for fights where people lose ship.

Edit again:

There's plenty of potential solutions, of course. I thought of these after posting. It's also possible to increases the isk sinks - you just need something that people want to spend isk on.

This was something proposed at the last fanfest; dynamic agents. The more an agent is used, the less it rewards. This motivates people to migrate and seek less populated areas.
Dynamic rewards could also affect null sec; the more a system is used, the less it produces. This would force people to move around. Or instead, perhaps something like wormholes where there's an equal number of site across a region - when one is done in system X, it spawns elsewhere, it becomes a hunting game where you have to move to different system to catch the respawning sites. It also prevents people from jsut staying in their own risk-free isolated systems.
